It happened on Potomac Drive on at least three and as many as a dozen homes, according to witnesses.

Linda Garland, who lives on the street, arrived home at 10:10 p.m. from visiting her mother to discover an anarchy symbol, the numbers 420 and an obscene message directed at police spray painted on her metal garage door.

âI couldnât believe it when I first got here and I wondered, âdid I do something to make them target me?ââ Garland said as she took a break from scraping off the message.

The message scared Garland.

âI was pretty afraid last night because I thought I was the only one targeted,â she said.

Investigators visited her the next day and mentioned several people on her street were victimized, she said.

One of those people was 79-year-old John Heier. When he woke up Tuesday, he discovered something doodled on his wall in spray paint.

He also noticed â666â was sprayed on a neighborâs trailer.

âIt really makes you feel pretty bad about whatâs going on in our country,â he said, referring to the vandalism.

The Riverside County Sheriffâs Department declined to release information on the case.
